You buy Aso Ebi and before you know it, they are divorced - Nollywood actress Chinyere Wilfred laments broken homes and challenges of modern parenting

<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/will_1752395757.png">Veteran Nollywood actress Chinyere Wilfred has expressed concerns over the increasing rate of broken homes and the challenges of parenting in todays digital age.Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Nation, the actress, who has been married for over three decades, attributed marital instability to the erosion of traditional values and the growing influence of social media.Todays parents are Gen Z. Back in the day, our parents had boundaries, she said.What we see today is shocking. People get married, you buy aso ebi, and before you blink, boom, theyre divorced. Marriage isnt a party dress you wear and throw away.Speaking on modern parenting, the actress emphasized the importance of finding a balance between guidance and freedom, adding that many African mothers confuse excessive discipline with love.While shooting Sands of Time, I saw myself in that character. I didnt realise I was overreacting with my children until I watched the playback. It hit me, I was being too controlling. I got home and mellowed down, especially with my son. Even now, as a graduate, he still cant sleep out. I thought I was protecting them, but I was actually overprotecting," she said."We think were loving our children, but sometimes, were stifling them. Sands of Time is more than a series, its a conversation starter. It teaches us to listen more, to trust more, and to breathe."Parenting has become more complex, but the key is balance between guidance and freedom, discipline and understanding, she added.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/7/you-buy-aso-ebi-and-before-you-know-it-they-are-divorced-nollywood-actress-chinyere-wilfred-laments-broken-homes-and-challenges-of-modern-parenting-2.html">You buy Aso Ebi and before you know it, they are divorced - Nollywood actress Chinyere Wilfred laments broken homes and challenges of modern parenting</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
